Increase police warning distance
Waze users are warned of speed traps or police presence only about 600 feet ahead of time. This is far too late of a warning. With a clear line of sight, law enforcement can detect speeders at 1-2 miles out.
By the time the Waze warning pops up, you could have already been detected.
This feature – while very well intentioned and thought out – is useless with so little warning.

What we are aiming to do here is speed based alerters.

It could also be, it just got reported so that may also be a cause too.

I think it already does that. i know I have been warned about 1000 feet or more coming to it. At least that's what it does on my Android.

Alternate suggestion: Stop speeding and putting people's lives in danger.
Just a wacky idea.

Just look at the map. If you're speeding and worried about getting caught, zoom out on the map to see farther ahead and the little policeman heads will show up.

Add a screen in parameters to set different warning distances such as instruction, police, hazard, camera...
